07.11.2017 – Belly dancer

Today we had on board a guest who´s birthday was today! She got surprised with special sightings as it was for the rest of us as well. First we met the masters of synchronized swimming, The Rough-Toothed dolphins, rare and very welcome cetaceans. Subsequent we went in an area with three Baleen whales. One young Tropical whale took us curiously in sight. The animal surrounded us, turned to its side showing a part of the tail. One time it turned on its back and we clearly could see the groves. Again and again it approached us. In one situation when it was on its side it wiggled like a snake. This movement reminded me on a belly dancer. Just WONDERful!
